Portable App Development

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with DirectoriesMove. I try to copy a directory from my stick to the hard drive.
It should be MyAppPortable\Data\MyDirectory -> "My Documents"

I tried it as mentioned on the site linked above.

[DirectoriesMove]
MyDirectory=%DOCUMENTS%

But this copies everything from "My Documents" to my stick. As a result I exchanged the two parameters.

[DirectoriesMove]
%DOCUMENTS%=MyDirectory

But now nothing happens...

Hi, ...

OpenTTD v1.1.0

Latest release in stable is v1.1.0 = (x86) (x64)

It have now, an x64 build.

http://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable

I have the old v1.0.5 portable version. Please made v1.1.0 (x86)(x64) portable.

When GoldenDict Portable was first released, a user noted that sound dirs wouldn't work, and a bit of digging showed the problem to be with GoldenDict's built-in portable mode. I posted a RFE on their forum and received the following reply from one of the GoldenDict devs:

Hi there,

Maybe a noobish question to ask but i'm reading some threads here and there but it still doesn't get me my own portable app.

I have installed several tools:
- Launcher
- Installer
- NSIS
- AppCompactor
- Development Tool kit
- Templates

But then what?
I have run all tools but i'm still stuck with an exe that i would like to have portable.

Isn't there a short tutorial guide on how to create your own portable app from scratch with a fresh downloaded exe ?

Hi everybody,

First, I want to thank all of you for making me keep trying new things without worrying about my PC's stability... thank you

I just decided to join this community and will help as much as I can!
So I start it easy! Fofix is already portable itself (I'm not really a gamer but played this one for few days and liked it),
so I just had to make a little launcher.ini to make it fully portable

(I think!)

Some help needed please:

I noticed that the people from the PDF Toolkit have taken up developments again and issued new releases of their command-line tool.
Could this be a cue for either Angus Johnson or people from PortableApps to consider further improving their excellent PDF-splitter-joiner-rotator-whathnot tool?

Angus does not provide contact details on his homepage, so I thought maybe PortableApps knows how to contact him.
Cheers,
Stephan

Hello to All:

Greetings from Mexico.

For me, the PA platform is fantastic and unprecedented for Windows!
I have been longing for a unified platform like for Linux. This is it!

I wish it could cover more apps, especially those made portable already
by distributors, such as Jdownloader, DC++. PA does not need to
repack or host a copy for downloading, but need to manage the update
info just like the others. I think it is much easier to get agreement with
distributors. Thanks a million!

The Portable Apps programs have been extremely beneficial to me in my work environment, and couldn’t have come at a better time. I was wondering if there’s anything in the works to have a Portable Apps desktop environment? Although the PA program is similar with the available programs and documents folder, but I would like to see something that simulates the Windows XP/7 desktop.

Hiyo, I'm trying to create a portableapp, I'm mostly done, but I'm having trouble with the icon.

I'm trying to create an icon that contains all the required formats

16px - 256 color (8-bit)
32px - 256 color (8-bit)
48px - 256 color (8-bit)
16px - True Color + Alpha (32-bit / XP format)
32px - True Color + Alpha (32-bit / XP format)
48px - True Color + Alpha (32-bit / XP format)

I have no idea how to do this. I am using IcoFX and GIMP
